Advanced placement

Stratford Central is pleased to offer Advanced Placement options, which were previously known as the Enriched Program. Advanced Placement offers enrichment to senior high school students as a way of connecting them to greater success and wider opportunities when they enter university. At certain universities, a student who has successfully completed AP in a subject area may be permitted to bypass the first year university course in that subject and directly enter a second year course. At some universities they may actually be granted a first year credit in the subject. Research has demonstrated that AP students are more likely to succeed in their first year of university and beyond because AP encourages students to be more independent and self-motivated.
